WARD,
Claire▼ (née

Died quietly on July 5, 2007 at age 87, the final small transition
in an illness that had diminished her once-sharp mind and weakened
her once-agile body. Her emotional capacity endured longer, allowing
occasional flashes of her essential kindness, sweetness and bravery,
even towards the end. Claire was born in East York in 1919, the
youngest in a family of five children of Thomas Bartholomew William
HIGGINS and Augusta
RYAN, and step-mother Frances
COOK.
Her▼ four
siblings, Tony, Marjorie, Arthur and Ray all predeceased her.
In 1932, the family returned to England and in 1938, Claire married
Arthur WARD.
They▼ were intensely devoted to each other for 65 years
until his death in 2003. They went through the London Blitz together,
each working in civil defense. Then in 1949 they and their daughters
emigrated to Canada where Claire worked with passion and commitment
in a number of helping organizations in Toronto, including many
years with the office of the United Nations High Commissioner
for Refugees, and the United Nations Association in Canada. She
also studied for 14 years, mostly in the evenings, to get a B.A.
from the University of Toronto at age 54. Claire and Arthur were
members of Holy Trinity Church, Thornhill and Saint Paul's (Westdale)
in Hamilton. For the family, the sense of missing her began some
years ago but now it is definite. She was "Mum" to Vandra (and

Numerous tips lead to arrest in Ontario killing
Man considered a missing person until two fishermen found his
body
By Unnati GANDHI,
Page A7
The mysterious disappearance of a man named Jeffrey
MASON last
year had nearly everyone in a Northern Ontario town talking.
The 37-year-old welder's home and car had been found burned and
gutted - his loyal dog's remains inside - and, for months, there
hadn't been a trace of Mr.
MASON anywhere.
But the mystery is no more: The body of Mr.
MASON, from Dowling,
Ontario, near Sudbury, was discovered in a nearby river last
month, and this week an arrest was made in his death.
Two couples fishing on the Vermillion River on June 7, just kilometres
from Mr. MASON's home, caught sight of something that had floated
up from the 120-foot-deep river.
"Two of the people went out and retrieved what was floating and
it was actually Jeffrey," said Sudbury police Staff Sergeant
Sheilah WEBER, adding that Mr.
MASON was found fully clothed,
with a light-coloured cloth wrapped around him. He had died of
blunt-force trauma.
Then on Wednesday, Sudbury resident Nicholas Aaron
MARTIN, 18,
was charged with first-degree murder in Mr.
MASON's death. Mr.
MARTIN
appeared in court yesterday and has been remanded into custody
until Tuesday.
Local police initially treated the investigation, which The Globe
and Mail reported on in February, as a missing-person case. But
with each passing day they were further convinced it was much
more than that. His family always maintained that he was murdered,
and that the killer burned away the slightest bit of evidence.
Staff Sgt.
WEBER said Ontario Provincial Police divers had twice
searched the river, once in the days immediately after Mr.
MASON's
disappearance, and once in the early spring after the temperature
had risen, but could never make it deeper than 90 feet.
After the discovery of his body, the case became a homicide investigation.
Four investigators worked on the file full-time. Witnesses: began
to come forward, forensic evidence - including a blanket that
belonged to Mr.
MASON that was found near the river - was analyzed,
and tips were followed up, she said.
"Basically, everybody had a piece of the puzzle and now we've
been able to put that puzzle together," Staff Sgt.
WEBER said.
Police confirmed that at the time of his arrest, Mr.
MARTIN was
already in jail awaiting a trial for attempted murder in an unrelated
incident from last November, when he had allegedly slashed another
person's neck with a knife during a house party in the Sudbury
area.
Mr. MASON's eldest brother, John, confirmed yesterday that Jeffrey
and the accused weren't strangers. "He was known to him, but
he wasn't an acquaintance," he said. "I certainly don't believe
[his death] was random."
The discovery of Jeffrey's body and the news of an arrest, he
said, brings an uncomfortable sense of relief to his tight-knit
family - three siblings and a widowed mother.
Mr. MASON had moved back to the family farm in 2003 from Calgary
to take care of his mother after his father died of a stroke.
He never went a day without getting in touch with her or his
siblings.
"It was just so unbelievably surreal. We always felt that something
disastrous had happened to him. He could not, because we believed
he would not, stay away from us for so long."
Despite the arrest, the elder Mr.
MASON says there will never
be closure with the family, not even with a conviction, because
he never got to say goodbye to his baby brother.

Teens mourn friend's 'death by misadventure'
The body of 17-year-old Taylor
WHITNEY was found Sunday afternoon
in a backyard after he failed to make his way home from a party
By Anthony
REINHART,
PageA10
As an avid athlete and the life of many a teenage party, Taylor
WHITNEY rarely lacked for company.
With a ready supply of jokes and a put-on Irish accent, the 17-year-old
left his many Friends in stitches whenever they got together,
which was often.
Still, no one was there when he needed it most - in the wee hours
of Saturday morning, as he struggled to make his way home from
just such a gathering. As other teens filtered off into the night,
Mr. WHITNEY wandered in the opposite direction of his parents'
Toronto home and into a backyard, where his body was found by
a neighbourhood search party on Sunday afternoon.
"Death by misadventure" is what the police called it after an
autopsy yesterday; the Richview Collegiate Institute student
apparently lost his footing and fell down an embankment behind
a house on Edgehill Road, a leafy street lined with large, stately
homes in the Royal York Road and Dundas Street West area of Etobicoke.
Toxicology tests, still pending, should reveal whether Mr.
WHITNEY
was intoxicated, but his Friends said he was experienced with
alcohol and there was drinking at the party, which was hosted
by a teenage boy whose parents were not home.
Yesterday, the dead teen's Friends struggled with guilt for not
keeping tabs on Mr.
WHITNEY, who would have started Grade 12
at Richview Collegate next week, and taken the football field
wearing his usual No. 24, or "two-four" as he called it, in a
nod to his zest for parties and beer.
"I feel kind of bad because at parties, if people start getting
out of hand or people start drinking too much, I'm usually the
one who takes care of them," said Tyler
VELLEND, a close friend
and fellow Richview linebacker. "The one time that I wasn't there
to make sure he was okay, he went missing and ended up passing
away."
Mr. VELLEND said he had planned to go to the party on Valecrest
Drive with Mr.
WHITNEY, but a last-minute chance to attend a
football camp in Virginia came along. He didn't know anything
was wrong until early Saturday morning, when text messages flooded
his cellphone from Friends asking if he'd heard about Mr.
WHITNEY's
disappearance.
When Mr. VELLEND arrived home that morning, his mother Kathy,
a Toronto police sergeant, was already organizing volunteers
for a search. She directed groups of parents, teens and neighbours
- including the boy who hosted the party and his parents - from
a command post at St. George's Junior School.
When a friend sent a text message to Mr.
WHITNEY's cellphone
at 10 a.m., police were able to determine the message was received,
which meant his phone must have been within two kilometres of
a cellular tower at Royal York Road and Dundas Street West. The
search was focused accordingly.
At about 2 p.m. Sunday, Ms.
VELLEND got the call from one of
the searchers.
"She was like, 'All right, you stay there at the meeting point,'
" her son said, while she headed to the discovery site on Edgehill
Road.
Then, with dozens of volunteers milling around him at the command
post, young Mr.
VELLEND got the call from his mother: "We're
looking at him right now, but there's no signs of [life]."
"There was total silence, and I had a can of pop in my hand and
I just dropped it," Mr.
VELLEND said. "I broke down and collapsed
on the ground."
Michael MASOTTI, another close friend of Mr.
WHITNEY, was nearby
when the search party found the body. He followed Mr.
WHITNEY's
parents down into the backyard, past a swimming pool to where
the ground dropped off steeply toward a ravine that flanks the
Humber River.
"There were logs and rocks at the bottom," Mr.
MASOTTI said,
confirming that it appeared Mr.
WHITNEY's neck was broken. "I
think it was quite sudden. He definitely didn't suffer."
Mr. MASOTTI, 16, said he attended the party briefly on Friday
night, and described it as typical of many.
"It's a house party; I mean, there's always alcohol," he said,
adding that he saw "nothing overly serious" going on.
"That's what's scary; it can happen to anyone at any time," he
said. "It happened to him and he didn't deserve it. No 17-year-old
deserves to die."
Asked if anything can be learned from Mr.
WHITNEY's death, Mr.
MASOTTI
said, "This isn't going to change drinking [among teenagers].
The one thing it will change is how people treat their Friends.
"They have to stay with their Friends, and if you see someone
who's having trouble, you don't just leave them. You pick them
up and you get them to their door."
Earlier this year, Mr.
MASOTTI said, he was with Friends, all
of whom had been drinking before a school dance. During a subway
stop along the way, one of them appeared intoxicated, but told
the others he was okay. The others continued on, only to learn
later that their friend had wound up in hospital to get his stomach
pumped.
Paul CHORLEY, another friend who attended the party, said he
and about 25 teens left the house when the party ended at about
12: 20 a.m. Saturday. Mr.
WHITNEY was among those departing, but
"I guess unnoticeably, he fell behind."
Mr. CHORLEY and Mr.
MASOTTI later heard that Mr.
WHITNEY accepted
a ride soon afterward, but got out of the vehicle a short distance
away. There, he began walking with two other teens he did not
know well, and reportedly told them "this is my street" as he
headed onto Edgehill Road, which was in the opposite direction
of his family's home on Ravensbourne Crescent, three kilometres
northwest.
Asked if Mr.
WHITNEY appeared different than normal at the party,
Mr. CHORLEY said no.
"He was just his usual self," he said. "There was no reason,
really, to take precautions; no one was really watching him because
nobody thought we had to."
Mr. CHORLEY's father, David, said it's too soon to discuss alcohol
or parental supervision in the absence of firm details about
the party, but spoke for countless parents when he described
his feelings about teenagers.
"You worry about the kids all the time," he said, adding that
Mr. WHITNEY was a good kid with loving, involved parents, like
most in the neighbourhood where he has lived all of his 51 years.
"Everything was above board. There was constant communication
within the parent group. That's why his mother got so upset when
he didn't make it home in the wee hours." (Mr.
WHITNEY's mother
called the
CHORLEYs' home at 4 a.m. to ask Paul if her son had
gone home with him.)
Calling the young man's death "a very unfortunate, tragic accident"
that has devastated parents in the neighbourhood as much as his
peer group, the elder Mr.
CHORLEY said when it comes to teens,
"You do the best you can with what you've got, and they have
to make choices, because you're not there."
Tyler VELLEND, who hopes to wear his friend's No. 24 this football
season, wishes he had been.
"I don't want to regret it," he said, "but I feel that if I was
there, I would have made a difference."

of committed love. In 1953 he applied for admission to The United
Church of Canada and was invited to be assistant to the minister
at Eglinton United Church, Toronto. A year later, he became minister
of Barton Stone United Church in Hamilton and went on to become
one of the editors of the New Curriculum of The United Church
in 1960. Robin was awarded the Canadian Silver Jubilee Medal
in 1977 in appreciation of his devoted service rendered at Rideau

continued in his contributions to his community. He wrote a brief
for the United Church of Canada to the Royal Commission on New
Reproductive Technologies. He was awarded the McGeachy Senior
Scholarship for a survey and analysis of the attitudes of men
towards the United Church, and he channeled his passion for family
into the construction of The Ewart Angus Home for patients with
Alzheimers and Dementia. Robin and Marie enriched their lives
with travel, time at the cottage and they relished the special
moments they spent with family and Friends. Robin will be dearly

Crashes abound on area's icy roads
By Joe BELANGER, Sun Media, Fri., November 23, 2007
Police across the London region scrambled yesterday to keep up
with reports of dozens of crashes as rain changed to ice, then
snow.
Police and rescue workers were busy along Highway 401 where several
collisions were reported.
In Lambton County, Ontario Provincial Police responded to at
least nine collisions yesterday.
In Oxford County, an eight-year-old girl and two drivers were

MASSECAR.
The two drivers and the girl were taken to Woodstock General
Hospital. The child was later transported to London with internal
injuries.
Elgin Ontario Provincial Police yesterday disclosed the identity
